Built and hosted using Firebase.

This project uses AI

Gemini (in the form of Google AI overview) was occasionally referenced when looking up documentation or similar things.
The OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of the code was written by me, and not a single AI generated line was directly pasted into my code.

I buillt a chat site about food! Hardest part was definitely the styling, specifically making the layout responsive. I realize that I have never made a scalable responsive webpage before, so I’m proud of that. Enjoy!!!!!

Added Avatars

  • For now they use users’ google profile pictures since I’m too broke to afford Firebase image storage
    Added more customization features:
  • /icon-width lets you change the size of icons
  • /message-spacing changes the margin around messages
    And a lot more general tweaks and bugfixes and optimizations

Added a couple of features & visual tweaks:

  • Gave the UI a glow up (and made it more responsive) alongside adding 4 selectable themes
  • Added timestamping
  • Username changes now save
  • Logout button now works
  • Added room swapping which lets you switch to a different chat in case one gets too cluttered, using the /room command
  • Created a manual that lists the commands (there is only one so far but there will be more upcoming hopefully)
  • Added firestore security rules so that this site doesn’t end up like that one tea app…
